Alex & Paul.... I respect you guys for giving out your techniques, it's really awesome when you share a passion and you have such great contributors. We will keep supporting your business. Hans down!!! Edgar from Homestead FL

I have a bad habit of germinating every fruit seed I get and now have dozens of Mango cultivars in zone 9a. Pruning them short and green housing them for 2 months… if they survive winters I better learn to graft. Thanks for having a channel

I agree with Alex that taking scions from an actively flushing tree and grafting onto a active flushing tree is very important and greatly helps with grafts being successful. This is something I noticed myself this season.

I love your shirt! I am learning a lot.

Good vid! You ask all the good questions! Thank you for going out and getting us a hands on with the grafting! This is all good info. Exactly where I am in learning! ❤️👍

Alex is a wealth of knowledge! I learned some tricks; thank you!

Very nice information.

Once I refined my veneer grafting, it became as viable as my cleft grafts. Technique requires cutting a rectangular patch from the root-stock; just removing the bark to the cambium - no underlying wood! I rubber-band the scion on to ensure broad contact w/ cambium. Lehigh Acres, FL... Caramba!

Excellent video. You asked all the questions I would have. Last summer was my first time grafting. Four successful grafts out of...well, never mind. I'm convinced I wasn't making flat cuts on my scions. Hopefully this year will be better. Thanks...subscribed!

Dependant upon the hardness of the branch of the mother tree or root stock I may use a cable tie or two to "clamp" the union.

Nice video ..I was wondering when this video was coming.. really enjoyed the video .. very informative as usual..

Great video, thanks to you and Alex for sharing.

Hey Paul, I enjoy your videos, and though this is a couple years old I'm in sort of the same situation you were in, "just learning". But he's an idea I got from watching a video you did with "Truly Tropical". When you graft to a root stock from a random seedling (not turpentine, or Peva etc...); when you remove the top, of it's a good scion, graft to an older tree to see what the fruit is like. If it's no good you can remove the branch and graft something else, or maybe even develope a new variety. I also recently discovered the importance of makinh sure everything is very clean, and preferably using stainless steel, as well as having both scion and rootstock flushing at the same time. Not to mention, taking your time.

Thanks Paul and Alex Great Video a lot of good info.

Good information. Thanks. We appreciate you.

Great information, great video

Normally in Barbados we use a narrow plastic bag to cover the added scion & the grafted union.

Thank you for the information

I love your long sleeve shirt

Great video, thank you Paul and Alex. This is basically the technique I used and finally, after many previous fails, a couple took. Too soon to tell on the others, they are still mostly green at least. I feel my odds were better as it is still rainy season here(also Florida) and my root stock was planted in the ground not pots. Sad news 2 more years to wait for fruit.

Since the most important thing is to make sure the cambiun layers made contact. Can the scion be angle a little to make sure that the cabium will make contact in at least 2 different positions?

Salute bro 💯

Can you advise, I have a paw-paw/papaya tree from seed and wants to graft it onto something or Vice versa, what is compatible as rootstock or scion?

5:57 that looks like a really cool sharpening stone. Do you know where Alex purchased it from?

Hey Paul, can you film a short follow up with Alex on some of those grafts. Successful ? Thanks

Is there certain season when you graft?

Can I enquire of you, is it possible to mix the genes by grafting a "starch" mango onto a Julie Mango stock and what would be the resultant product? I'd be obliged for your opinion.

Do you do air laying. Reply please

Hi Paul Notice a lot of your scions are grafted onto the end of branches. I think you should pull them back to main scaffolding branches to prevent pruning them off. Just a suggestion 😉😉

Does the stumps have to be white washed

Really appreciate this Paul! Is it too late to graft now?

👋🏻Hi Paul & Alex. We have a young tree that was damaged in a recent storm in which the entire top was broken off. Can this tree be saved via grafting without any leaves left on it?

Paul I'm following your toturials I'm interested in fruit trees. I will likel you send me some fruit seeds e g persimmon, jack fruit, olive, blue berries, strawberry etc. Thanks.

From the beginning why New shoots are brown in colour?

🤝🤝🤝👌

Painting an edible tree doesn’t sound too safe. I’m sure there’s stuff in the paint you don’t want the tree to absorb

Very bad video clip.instead of showing the plant all the time talking or showing the person
